Lynn Vu

I've taken +300 lessons on iTalki and tried +25 different Vietnamese teachers (and tried the other Vietnamese sites) and Lynn is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I had struggled for months to make it past the beginner level of Vietnamese, but after 4 months of lessons with Lynn, I was able to have 1 hour conversations entirely in Vietnamese. Lynn uses several effective tools - systematic pronunciation practice of each sound, comprehensible input, grammar book practice, and conversational practice. After each lesson, Lynn sent a list and recording of all the words, grammar, and sentences that I didn't know during the lesson so I could practice afterwards (extremely important!). After 4 months with Lynn, my pronunciation was understandable, I could “hear” Vietnamese, and have entirely Vietnamese conversations. Lynn is also very fun and energetic and I never got bored after months of lessons with her. I wish I would have found Lynn sooner in my Vietnamese learning journey.

Thanks again for a new lesson conducted in a very professional and diligent manner. Lynn has been obliging and did not hesitate to use two manuals that I sent her and for which I had expressed a preference. Since I need to learn how to read, she provided me with recorded readings with which to train. Comme Mlle Lynn est également à l'aise en français, elle passe pour les explications à la langue la plus appropriée selon les circonstances. Les dialogues sont très vivants et agréables. Warmest recommandations.

Chị Linh is an amazing teacher! She has gone out of her way - really the extra mile- as a teacher to accommodate when I can do classes even if it is inconvenient for her (due to time zone differences). She is a such a positive and joyful teacher and that really makes to the class atmosphere enjoyable. She is also scary good in remembering whether she had gone over a certain vocabulary word (despite having many students). She also gives me a vocab list at the end of each lesson to study. It can be quite the long list though! At times she ask which parts of a reading I don’t understand, but I’m sure she already knows. I also really appreciate that she is able to identify for me when things are spoken in the northern or southern accent since I grew up hearing the Southern accent. I am grateful for her teaching style and her willingness to be flexible when I wanted to use a textbook or even the Bible. Highly recommended! I look forward to learning more from her!

Over 7 years, I’ve used Italki to take over 300+ lessons with over 50 teachers, studying 11 languages and Em Lynn is the easily the best teacher I have had. I hardly write reviews for teachers, but this time I must write a long one so I hope you’re ready! 1) Her language teaching methods are remarkable. It’s rare to see a teacher on Italki use only the target language ( Zero English). I often have to remind the teachers to stop using English, even if it’s one word, but since she teaches using the Natural Method, she knows exactly how teach in using only Vietnamese. Since she has studied 4 foreign languages herself, she knows exactly how to do this how. 2) She is the only teacher I’ve studied with who understand and incorporates the theory of Comprehensible Input (N+1) in her teaching. She is always aware of the words you have studied or have been exposed to and reintroduces them into to the lesson in a novel and challenging way that forces you to think a little harder to respond.

Lynn is a great teacher with great energy!

I love learning languages! I have taken lessons in both Preply and Italki, so I can safely say that Cô giáo Lynn Vu is an amazing Vietnamese Professor. She is able to adapt to your rate/speed of learning. If you want to go slower, she has a way of making the concepts easier to understand. If you want to go faster, and be ahead of the lesson plan, she can do that for you as well! The trademark of an excellent teacher is being able to adapt to the needs of the student. She is definitely an expert in teaching different languages!
